# playbooks/ — repeatable acquisition workflows

Runbook-style playbooks for repeatable ARRFLIX ops — subtitles, importing
media, artwork, metadata, episode stills, and any other recurring acquisition
or maintenance procedure. Each playbook is a standalone recipe Claude Code
(or a human operator) can execute end-to-end.

This folder holds the canonical recipes for **acquiring external content** for
the ARRFLIX library: subtitles, artwork, metadata, episode stills, etc.
Internal ops (encoding, importing, theming) stay in `bin/` and `docs/`.

Each playbook is its own sub-folder with three files:

| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `README.md` | The canonical recipe. Step-by-step, executable by Claude Code. Always reflects the latest version. |
| `CHANGELOG.md` | Why the recipe changed, version-by-version. One entry per breakage that forced a revision. |
| `runs/<show>.md` | Evidence log: what happened when this recipe was applied to a specific show. |

Recipes evolve via the **iteration model**: apply to a show, succeed or break,
amend the recipe to handle the new case + every prior case, retry. A recipe
that "just works" is one that has survived every show in the library without
amendment for a full sweep.
